i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?

looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).

As Mark Anthony said to Julius Caesar when Cleopatra paraded herself before them for the first time.

"Julius take a look at her figure; XXXVI--XXII-XXXVI yay yay aye !"

About to go to bed, was tidying up and found this as the quote for 31st December 2014.

okay, some good takeaway:.

i have never been to a convention quite like this before.

a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

so we have women on heat, *individuality in dress with a gentle spattering of civic pride/ nationalism. Mein Gott! It sounds almost.... wait for it..........................................................worldly!

It would be great to see the various tribal, clan, racial whatever costumes being realized.

Hey! That means i could wear a kilt in honour of my ancestors.

("what's worn under your kilt Jock?")

"Nothings worn,.. it all works perfectly well".

* female need eh? let me guess they are going to put out a 'schedule' for nookie nights?

uber dub random meeting and why all the changes to the format here?!

by tiki in

ran into an uber-dub known from my history in the org......she had to be very sure i wasn't d'fed or d'aed - merely "inactive" so she could give me a big hug and inform me that she knows i'm coming back to jehovah because he understands my "hurt" and....blah blah blah.

it struck me how dependent they are on labels.......and how very stupid it is....you can hug me because i don't have the df label?

would i be a different person if i had that label?
